Patterson at his best!

A great read - I started this book on a Sunday morning and couldn’t put it down! I finished on Sunday evening, reading straight through. James Patterson never disappoints with his story telling.

Too much like Alex Cross to be its own series

Don’t get me wrong this was a great read. However because it’s Cross and Sampson I thought it would be more like this first. Building off their relationship from the very beginning.
This felt more like a typical Alex Cross book. Although Sampson and Cross were working different cases, which they have done before in other Alex Cross books. Even Bree has worked separate cases in Alex Cross books.
Not really sure why this is a separate series.

Cross and Sampson

OK, I lean a little right, but I’m pretty mainstream but I couldn’t get through the first few chapters of this book… Oh my God all people of color are perfect and all conservatives white people are bad. I’m done with you James Patterson. This was so hard for me to swallow and I kept saying he’s gonna get better. it’s not gonna be like this through the whole book and it just got worse… whatever I’m done.
